reasons

I don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day:1) I no longer drink2) I don't like cornd beef3) more than one St. Pat's parade is less than welcoming to my tribehowever -- the outlaw in me likes to shake things up. & in the "going thru" phase of my downsizing I found this t-shirt & decided to wear it one last time posting the proof today.

Shea-nanigan's was a restaurant & Irish pub near campus that I first went to in 1979. its heyday was the first half of the 1980s. it was popular with the theater crowd. & I certainly took my share of young actors & dancers there. but it was also a spot to take poets & those with whom I shared flagons & morsels were Tom Meyer & Jonathan Williams Kenneth Irby Jacob Leed John Moritz.this particular t-shirt became mine when I "borrowed" it from a hot bartender.
